Joomla 6 Notice

We are pleased to announce that all our Joomla extensions have been compatible with Joomla 6 since October 14th, 2025.

For those currently upgrading from Joomla 3 to 4: Instructions for Joomla 4 migration can be found here:

There are standalone documentations Visforms Joomla 4, Visforms Joomla 5 and Visforms Joomla 6.

Joomla 6 is scheduled for October 2025.

Joomla 6 completes a code restructuring process that began on Joomla 4. Numerous old code functions will then be completely removed. Revising the Visforms code for Joomla 6 compatibility is a key focus of this release.

The release also includes some interesting new features from the feature wish list.

  • Email Logging: New form option for each email type to separately activate explicit email logging.
  • Inspector: All essential Visforms log files integrated for direct viewing in the inspector.
  • New placeholder DIE (delete if empty) to automatically remove empty HTML elements without text content from PDF documents, email texts, and the result text based on user input.
  • Content Plugin Data View: The plugin supports the replacement of Visforms placeholders throughout the plugin string, especially for the plugin string parameter fieldselect. Content Plugin Data View: Added the use of published, created_by, modified_by, ipaddress, and ismfd as field selections in the fieldselect parameter. Content Plugin Data View: CSV export download added for the default view.

For this Visforms update, we are using canary releases for the first time. This makes the latest version available to an increasingly large group of users in stages. It is therefore quite possible that a current release is not yet available for your Joomla update manager.

However, all current updates are still available for download on our website. This allows you to manually update to the latest version at any time, even if it is not officially your turn yet.
